About

The Brackenrigg Inn is a quintessential Cumbrian lakeside pub that blends traditional local hospitality with contemporary comforts. Set on the banks of Ullswater, guests can enjoy hearty homemade dishes made from fresh regional produce while taking in sweeping views of the water and surrounding fells. The inn offers a warm, rustic atmosphere with both indoor seating in the bar and a spacious dining area that welcomes dogs, making it an ideal spot for hikers, families and travellers alike. In addition to a relaxed pub experience, the accommodation includes a range of rooms – single, double and two‑bedroom suites – all dog‑friendly, with full continental breakfast and access to the nearby Swim Club’s fell‑view pool and hot tub. Events such as live music Fridays and a Sunday roast further enhance the community feel of this lakeside destination.
